Not sure if it's what you're after, but the raw data from which a tag cloud for a set of references can be generated is included in a simple Zotero RDF export of the items.
-
There's a separate tool for that purpose. :)

I think that what you want for this in (current) CSL 0.8 is a set of tests like this, in the citation layout section: ...... CSL for full form ....... CSL for "subsequent" form ....... CSL for ibid ....... CSL …

Both are okay. Zotero stores the date internally in a standard form. The grey letters show that it recognizes what is written in the field as a valid date. (That said, it might help clarity if the ordering of the grey-letter token symbols tracked…

Re short-title backreferences using "hereinafter", to do this well would require that the "hereinafter" or "short" title be assigned on a per-document basis, since the choice to use "hereinafter" turns on context and taste. I've suggested a mechani…

@Isis: So with your modified style, you never use author names in subsequent references?
-
The bluebook style doesn't do this yet. It's not obvious how it should be handled, either, so it's something we should discuss. The obvious approach would be to automatically add a "hereinafter" parenthetical to cites for which a short title is av…

Currently, the CSL 1.0 schema release candidate, like CSL 0.8, only recognizes integers for line spacing, and the hanging-indent option only accepts values of "true" or "false". Probably it doesn't make sense for CSL to be specifying more precision…
-
If quality (actually completeness) is an issue, I would probably drop Bluebook from that list, at least for the time being.

This early work on macro extraction might be of use in tracking down related styles? (The dump.py script lists up which styles use each unique macro -- by content, not by name -- in the repository). Looking down the road at where this might go, mi…

Elena, adamsmith: both of your contributions have been, and continue to be, immense. (Three-way back-pat circuit duly closed, parity restored, all systems normal. :)

@uberstudent: Where would zotero.sqlite be located in that case?
-
The note review features discussed here would be great to have. Re the field issues, we should definitely work on that list. It's a separate topic, I'll start another thread.

Crossrefs inside the bibliography isn't possible with CSL 1.0 either, as far as i know. While working on the processor that runs on it, i did have contact from Zotero, though, with a heads-up about the future need for this feature. It's not a simp…

CSL is written in XML, so numeric entities should work. A non-breaking space would look something like this:Note that you need to use numeric character references for most things, rather than named entities. Wikipedia (among other sources) has a l…

Running it as "nohup gnotero" should also keep it alive after the terminal closes. See "man nohup" for the (very few) further details of the nohup command.

Bruce has given the green light to waking up "authority" in the current CSL schema. I need to confirm a couple of things, but it should go live within a day or two. (EDIT: I'll be on the road in the coming week, and won't have time to get to this;…

If the title were "Zotero upgrade wizard", that would parse.

mohan, maybe this is the kernel of your posts:... my zotero MS Word plugin currently does the following (I have copied the first and second in-text instances of 2 citations): (Maryn, Corthals, De Bodt, Van Cauwenberge, & Deliyski, 2009; Maryn, …

Yes, students need to install the plugin to work with the library. Snapshots can't be viewed from the website; if you're distributing material in that form, students will need the plugin to get the text. We've just finished a class here that used …

Great! I'll put some time in some of the case archive translators in the next week or two, to try to improve the quality of the data Zotero gets from them. (Note: um, it's the other way around ...)
-
That's what I would expect. For what it's worth, the translators for the Cornell LII, AustLII, CANLii and the other LII's (all dating from 2007) are already grabbing judge names and putting them into an "Author" field.
-
I think the result of the change will be that "Author" is added and mapped to CSL "author" (just because it's simpler to let it pass through), and "Counsel" gets unmapped. We don't use judge names in the body of cites in common law jurisdictions ei…

There is a Lexis translator in zotero-dev that works (as far as I know) with US & Canadian Law Reviews (combined) only. It works pretty well (if I do say so myself), and fetches a clean snapshot of the articles in HTML form. However, that tran…

(EDIT: I take back what is written below: names are disambiguated, in the new processor at least, only when rendered, so either "Author" or "Decided by" is possible. The former is probably preferable, to avoid bloat in the UI. It's also more clear…

@nedh: I had to smile reading your last post above -- not at you, but at me; i have exactly the same feeling about the notes that clutter my desk at the office!

Grant (and everyone), EDIT: D'oh. When I wrote the text below, I was assuming that "Author" existed on the Case type, which ... it doesn't; we currently have only "Counsel". So this should be read as a suggestion to add "Author" -- rather than "J…

@rdbrown0au: There has been recent discussion of this in the CSL tracker, and the BIBO (RDF) group. There is also an (inadequate and now dated) proposal concerning institutional identifiers in the zotero-legal group. Agree that a solution to this …
